BXBX NOVEL Chapter 617 - 617: Extorting Confessions
With a creak, the door that closed Cheng Yan was pushed open. Shan Yue looked at her sitting on the chair and walked in quietly.
Shan Yue’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and her sharp eyes quickly sized Cheng Yan up. Soon, she realized that something was wrong in the room. However, she did not announce it immediately. Instead, she moved a chair and sat in front of Cheng Yan.
Shan Yue tidied her clothes a little and casually draped one leg over the other, slowly waiting for Chang Ling to return.
A few minutes later, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door.
Shan Yue smiled and slowly stood up. She knew that the person who came at this time must be Chang Ling.
“President Shan, I’ve brought the things you wanted. I found a total of five books and a hammer.” Chang Ling placed everything in his hand on the table at the side and approached Shan Yue. In order not to affect the situation in the room, he said softly, “Since we want to force her, why don’t we use some hard methods? Why do we want these things?”
“You don’t know that, do you? It’s a very common technique in the black and white world. It just so happens that you can learn it.”
As Shan Yue spoke, she slowly approached Cheng Yan. “Because we still have to send Cheng Yan back to the police station in the end, this method is simply suitable for such a scene of extorting a confession. No one will discover any traces at all.”
“Since everything else has been settled, should we wake Cheng Yan up now?”
“Wake her up? It’s not our place to do such a thing.”
A strange smile appeared on Shan Yue’s face as she stared at Cheng Yan in front of her. “I believe Director Cheng has already woken up. Since you’re awake, let’s have a good chat. Tell me what I want to know and I’ll let you continue to live. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Chang Ling first revealed a surprised expression. He did not understand why Shan Yue had such a firm attitude and thought that Cheng Yan had already woken up.
At this moment, Cheng Yan was still doing the same thing and did not move. It was unknown if she was really not awake or if she was pretending to slap Shan Yue.
“Director Cheng, what else is there to pretend for? Since I dare to say such things, I must have a reason.”
Shan Yue’s tone was very natural. “There’s no need to waste time. No one can find you, including the faction behind you. If you want to keep your life, there’s only one way, and that’s to cooperate with me obediently.”
At this point, she paused for another two seconds. As expected, Cheng Yan slowly raised her head, and a hint of surprise and disbelief appeared on her face.
“How did you know I was awake?”
Cheng Yan’s face was filled with disbelief. “From the moment you came in, 1 thought 1 didn’t do anything unnecessary.”
“Is Director Cheng that confident?”
Shan Yue sat back in her chair and looked straight at Cheng Yan. “Don’t forget that when a person does fake things, no matter how well she pretends, she will definitely expose herself. There are no exceptions.”
“Then I’d like to hear what flaws I’ve revealed that will make you smell something amiss?”
“It’s actually very simple.”
Shan Yue did not hide this from Cheng Yan. “1 have a sharper sense of smell and hearing than ordinary people. A person’s breathing should be very calm when they’re really unconscious. However, because you’re deliberately pretending and it’s inevitable that you’re a little nervous, your breathing is rapid and heavy.”
“What you’re saying is impossible. No matter how sharp your senses are, they can’t reach this level.”
Cheng Yan’s red lips opened and closed as she sneered. “You must have guessed correctly by a freak combination of factors and found an excuse to smooth things over for yourself.”
“I’ve told you anyway. Whether you believe me or not is up to you..”
